Calibrating the Sensor (Manual Cal)

You should ONLY calibrate the sensor after completing the zero process.  

The screen below appears upon entering calibration mode. If Auto Cal was chosen in the 
Product Settings and Configuration menu, see page 51.

1. Unscrew and remove the rain guard from the assembly.

2. Install the calibration cup to the T3A’s sensor housing.

3. Screw the regulator into the calibration cylinder.

4. Use the sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup.
5. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.

6. For all gases except Cl

2

 and ClO

2

, let the gas flow for 1 minute.

For Cl

2

 and ClO

2

, let the gas flow for 6 minutes.

7. Use the ADD and SUB buttons to adjust the reading on the screen to match the 

concentration listed on the calibration cylinder. 

For ClO

2

 sensors, adjust the ClO

2

 reading to match the Cl

2

 concentration shown on the 

calibration cylinder. There is no conversion factor.

8. When calibration is complete, remove the calibration cup from the sensor housing and 

reinstall the rain guard.

9. Press the MENU button until the normal operating screen appears.
